[quote:Don'tBeAfraid:MV8xNTg3OTA4XzM1Mjk2NzM0Xzc3RTg0NDMw] [quote:MzTreeChick:MV8xNTg3OTA4XzM1Mjk1MjM3X0ZBOUY3ODhG] Hi D.B.A :cool2: Glad you have decided to hang around. * Several months ago I purchased a heavy duty jump starter for less than $100 from the local auto store AND a solar panel to recharge for less than $30. The jump starter has LED work lights, cig lighter input and extras to recharge phones and laptops etc. It is usually in the boot of the car but due to Queensland storm season its up stairs in the kitchen. Every 3mths I just hook it up to the solar panel to keep the battery fully charged. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. About to start Vege garden 3.0. :hf: :rockon: [/quote] GREAT! I'm glad. This kind of preparedness offers you more security. Note that a charge controller is recommended if you end up using it frequently. That keeps it from overcharging the battery. [/quote]

There are many free homeschooling sites with pdf files. It would be great to have them just in case there are issues.
Get medications that your kids need. See if your doctor will prescribe 3 months supplies for them.
Get some presents tomorrow for Christmas. Little gifts that you could give out not only then, but throughout the year as incentives. They'll really appreciate them.
Children can thrive in the woods as long as they have calm parents. They cannot keep up with your pace up and down tails. You've got to plan adequately if you do have to walk some.
Kids are used to incorrectly using a backpack since kids at school wear them in the wrong fashion, which adds too much stress to their lower back. You'll have to reteach them how to buckle it properly and position it higher than they used to wearing it.
Try to make gathering wood into a game. Teach them as much about nature as possible. Being quiet is as important as talking.
Kids love open fires. Tell stories. It can simply be times when they did wonderful things when they were younger. They love hearing how much you love and adore them. Even teens.
Hug and kiss them often. Be generous with your affection. Lavish it on them
